The really crummy part of this is that a visit by the President actually makes things worse.

The security detail, the dog and pony shows, the focus on the President keeps others from being able to do the work that needs to be done.

So a President who is trying to stay out of the way while lives are being saved is savaged by the press, while one who does the whole camera tour of showing they “care” is made out to be a saint.

Remember Bush’s plane ride and tour above Louisiana after Katrina?

While one Mr. Donald J. Trump and Gov. Mike Pence go out of their way to show support to a state in need. That is leadership.

You can say that again. Can you imagine having lost everything, being at the height of despair and looking up and seeing that prick's face? There's only so much a person can take.
